17. Swansea City

Swansea became the first Welsh side to play in the Premier League and they have held their own in the league and have received good support from their fans as well.

The Swans are another club that have a smaller stadium with the Liberty Stadium only being able to hold 20,532 fans.

As is the case with clubs that are going between the top two divisions of English football, Swansea will gain more fans if they stay in the Premier League longer and put together good results in a long time span.

15. Fulham

Fulham have been an established club in the Premier League for close to a decade now but they do not have as big of a fan base that the other well established clubs have.

The Cottagers are stuck in a hard place with a rather small stadium in Craven Cottage and being in London where other clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal take the top billing.

There is that small part of support Fulham has gotten in America with Clint Dempsey in the squad now, and Brian McBride and Kasey Keller in the past but the club can not even get a grasp on fans from other countries because of the other big clubs.

14. Wolverhampton

After seeing tons of success in the 1970s, Wolves fans have not seen quite the amount of achievement since.

The club has been one of those clubs yet again that makes it into the Premier League but fails to have a permanent impact in the league.

With that fortune, the club's fans get teased of staying in the Premier League but they do get the glory of winning titles in the lower divisions like their 2008-09 Championship title, a trophy they may be contending for next season.

13. Blackburn

What a tenuous year it has been for Blackburn supporters, but it also given outsiders a view of how passionate one club's fans can be.

It became routine for Rovers fans to protest outside of Ewood Park before home games because of their dissatisfaction with ownership over the managerial situation.

Ever since Sam Allardyce was fired by new owners, Venky's after their takeover last November, fans have been critical over current manager Steve Kean and give Kean credit that he and his club have performed under the pressure from their ever so passionate fans.

12. Norwich City

Norwich have been the most impressive of the three promoted sides and so have their fans.

Carrow Road has been packed close to capacity for most home games this season and deservedly so as the Canaries are the closest to an exciting Blackpool side from last season.

With late game excitement provided from the likes of Grant Holt on a regular basis and being the only Premier League club in East Anglia, the Canaries have a solid fan base and team, and it looks like we will see the club and their fans in the top flight for a while.

11. Stoke City

Ever since their promotion to the Premier League after the 2007-08 season, Stoke and their fans have made the Britannia Stadium a fortress.

In two of their three seasons in the top flight, the Potters have racked up 10 wins at home, an impressive feat for a club that has been stuck in the middle of the table since their entry to the Premier League.

The Potters have six wins at home this season so far and will try to get to double digits yet again with a late season run of form.

10. Aston Villa

Aston Villa have been in the Premier League since its inception in 1992 and have a solid fan base to back the club.

Although some fans were upset by hiring Alex McLeish as manager from rivals Birmingham, what is more frustrating for Villa fans is the record financial loss reported for last year and the fact that the club are struggling in 15th place this season.

Pushing all the negative aside, Villa still have a very strong fan base and no matter what the future holds for them there will be plenty of Villains behind them.

5. Newcastle United

Newcastle fans have endured their fare share of movement between the top two flights in England in the past few seasons and have seen the results of a club revival.

After surprisingly being relegated after the 2008-09 season, the Magpies responded brilliantly and won the Championship the next season, also during that season they led the league in attendance.

After promotion, Newcastle's attendance continued to be high as they had the third best average attendance in the 2010-11 season and thy sit in the same position this season even if St. James Park is no longer the name of the Sports Direct Arena, a controversial move made by owner Mike Ashley.

4. Chelsea

The good news for Chelsea fans is that their suffering is finally over, at least for now, with Andre Villas-Boas being fired as manager.

Chelsea fans have been through a lot during the Roman Abramovich era but they still remain loyal to the London club as the Russian owner has brought the club continued success under a plethora of managers.

The club average sellouts on a regular basis at Stamford Bridge and support for the Blues has grown worldwide during Abramovich's time in charge.
